Learning From Practice: Proposal for a Joint U.S./Italy Workshop--June 1992

该项目将在建筑师、设计工程师和在地震恢复和建设方面有直接经验的政策研究人员/规划者之间召开一次美国-意大利联合研讨会，讨论地震改造和重建的建筑方面。本研讨会的重点是建筑设计和抗震加固之间的关系：产生的独特设计问题，由相互冲突的要求产生的建筑问题，以及在施工中提出的问题，以及这些建成环境的变化对居住者和周围社区的影响。虽然过去的努力主要集中在损害评估和加固设计上，但这次研讨会着眼于抗震加固的建筑影响及其对已建成建筑的影响，以及设计政策变化的背景。在美国和意大利的与会者中，建筑师和工程师将讨论如何完成改造的问题，而规划者和政策研究人员将询问改造是否可以在社会和政治上完成。

This project will convene a joint US-Italy workshop among architects, design engineers, and policy researchers/planners with direct experience in seismic rehabilitation and construction to discuss the architectural aspects of seismic retrofit and reconstruction. The focus of this workshop is the relationship between architectural design and seismic strengthening: the unique design problems created, the architectural concerns generated by conflicting requirements, and issues raised in construction, and the impact these changes in the built environment have on occupants and on the surrounding community. While past efforts have been focused specifically on damage assessment and strengthening design, this workshop looks at the architectural implications of seismic strengthening and its effect on completed buildings, as well as the context for design policy changes. Among the American and the Italian participants, the architects and engineers will address the question of how retrofit is accomplished, while the planners and policy researchers will ask if retrofit can be accomplished socially and politically.
